MusicFollow-ups/CorrectionsAs I Lay Dying - Now THE ENTIRE BAND has left, minus long time guitar player Phil Sgrosso. And even THAT is questionable. This has caused the band to pull out of their EU tour, and might affect their upcoming album release.PLUSIt gets better… the reunion album, Shaped By Fire, has now been pulled from streaming. https://youtu.be/QSh-X7uQOnM https://loudwire.com/as-i-lay-dying-first-comment-members-rumors/ New Music/VideoTom Green - Det Er Done Tonight https://youtu.be/FpUfgGgU0hY Why is he just good at being so dang entertaining?Vera Farmiga - The Yagas - The Crying Room https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ4mh3uNw48&pp=ygUVdmVyYSBmYXJtaWdhIG5ldyBzb25n not bad… very atmospheric.Filth - Opp Stoppers https://youtu.be/DUl3DPXdCBY THIS feels like a more appropriate successor to the “Modern NU Metal” title.Venamoris - Spiderweb https://youtu.be/mjA_zqAm3KQ Dave Lombardo new project with his wife Paula. Weird reverb heavy drum mix, considering who is playing those drums. Kind of a trip-hop vibe.Avenged Sevenfold - Halloween https://youtu.be/wD1YX_olRj8 Acoustic??? Shadows does an interesting vocal performance too… very much NOT expected on either front. The vocals leave something to be desired.Skulls https://youtu.be/4Bthu4MXSOM Somehow the vocals are better here. THIS is more of what a Misfits cover should sound like. Almost Tiger Army-esque.The Halo Effect - March of the Unheard https://youtu.be/9ZG2matuCUM Former In Flames. 2 minutes of an almost 5 min song as intro though? Vocals feel like they belong in a different song.Linkin Park - Over Each Other https://youtu.be/fSHoePrnmMw Teenage angst center-stage again.Tours/FestivalsWhen We Were Young ‘25 - Oct 18 2025 Las Vegas. VIP Cabanas available with layaway payments with $19.99 down. Panic At The Disco, Blink 182, Weezer, The Offspring. Why is Kublai Khan on this bill?

Jan 31 in Augusta GA through Feb 11 in St Augustine FL.https://alicecooper.com/tour/ Reg ‘ol NewsPrimus - Drummer Tim Alexander quits the band. This is not the first time, first in 96, then again in 2010. The band was informed via email 2 weeks-ish ago on the 17th. Going forward at this point they will utilize members from Claypool’s other projects in Holy Mackerel and Frog Brigade. Alexander cites a lack of passion for playing music…https://blabbermouth.net/news/drummer-tim-herb-alexander-quits-primus-again Upon a Burning Body - canceled the rest of their tour with Mushroomhead, including a solo headlining show in Kentucky on Oct 27. It seems their guitar player had a family emergency.https://loudwire.com/upon-a-burning-body-drop-mushroomhead-tour/ SuggestsMisfits - Legacy of BrutalityOne of the CLASSIC all-time punk records. Maybe not their highest profile album, but the one that gave us “Halloween” and that’s worth a LOT.STAND OUT TRACKS: Halloween, American Nightmare, Some Kinda Hate, Who Killed Marilyn.Gaming/TechFollow-ups/CorrectionsFallout London - The fan-made DLC for Fallout 4 has officially been downloaded over 1 Million times. https://gog.prowly.com/360385-fallout-london-reaches-1-million-owners-on-gog TrailersMortal Kombat 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_ypb5noEMg Ghostface tease. Nov 19th.Reg ‘ol NewsInstagram - Video quality is being decreased on less popular videos. If your video doesn’t reach a certain popularity over a given amount of time, then it will stream at a lower quality than you uploaded. If it should pick up in popularity, the quality will be returned.https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/27/instagram-is-lowering-video-quality-for-unpopular-videos/ Valve - in a rare show of understanding. Valve has announced that they will NOT be releasing yearly iterations of their hardware, to be fair to gamers. In an interview Valve designers Lawrence Yang and Yazan Aldehayyat, said that they will instead wait for a “generation leap” before releasing new hardware.https://www.gamesindustry.biz/valve-rejects-yearly-cadence-of-steam-deck-updates-to-be-fair-to-gamers SuggestsWhat do you got for ME??Comic Books/BooksReg ‘ol NewsDeadpool/...

    It's time for the Comic Talk Headlines with Generally Nerdy!LOTS of new musicNetflix bows out of gaming... kindaElon sued AGAINJoe Rogan to interview Donald TrumpAnd so much more...Plus, don't forget to subscribe for more fresh content. MusicNew Music/VideoROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT. https://youtu.be/ekr2nIex040 CATCHY AF!! But that is par for the course with Bruno Mars. Apparently the lyrics (and title) are a play on words for a Korean drinking game. Rose from Blackpink.Cradle of Filth - Malignant Perfection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiF-PAt6N9U surprisingly restrained for a Cradle song. Trying to rekindle Nymphetamine? Video is VERY fitting for the season.Dead Icarus - 1 Million Days https://youtu.be/EjBGU-hF4js MUCH more Atreyu than anything previously released. This has Curse vibes all over it, even the video.Better Lovers - Love as an Act of Rebellion https://youtu.be/5qCT4puiPJY I almost like these guys as much as Miss Machine era Dillinger… almost. What is with the 4:3 aesthetic these days?Bloodywood - Nu Delhi https://youtu.be/A3C9NwGKgq4?si=k5I2p2CYtUofhYfE A little less on the NU sound. Still well put together, if slightly forgettable.Breaking Benjamin - Awaken https://youtu.be/cHj8PtRdMQk Decent breakdown/solo section, but don’t believe the hype. NOT extra heavy.Loss Becomes - Broken Mirrors Feat Jesse Leach https://youtu.be/_dTIV7xI9jM THIS is how you use a Jesse Leach vocal spot.Tours/FestivalsJerry Cantrell - Runs from Jan 31 through March 9. Support from Filter.https://jerrycantrell.com/ Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin - Oct 31 through Dec 15. Screening Demons in select cities.https://goblinsimonetti.com/tour-dates Reg ‘ol NewsIron Maiden - Paul Di’anno passed at 66. The band’s first vocalist on their debut “Iron Maiden” and “Killers.” His years long battle with Lymphedema seems to have ended. Official documentary coming in 2025.https://blabbermouth.net/news/ex-iron-maiden-singer-paul-dianno-dead-at-66 https://blabbermouth.net/news/official-paul-dianno-documentary-coming-in-2025 Papa Roach - Jacoby Shaddix says the next record “makes sense” to be a heavy record. The heaviest record they have ever done he claims. Seems like another trend hop to me.https://blabbermouth.net/news/jacoby-shaddix-says-it-feels-natural-for-papa-roach-to-lean-into-heavy-sound-on-next-album As I Lay Dying - Bassist and vocalist Ryan Neff has left the band, with a very curt exit statement on his socials. This can’t be an issue with Lambesis’ past, this has to be just Tim being difficult to work with at this point.https://blabbermouth.net/news/bassist-vocalist-ryan-neff-quits-as-i-lay-dying Static-X - Hoping to release the documentary “Evil Disco: The Rise, Fall, and Regeneration of Static-X” in 2025. https://blabbermouth.net/news/static-x-is-hoping-to-release-evil-disco-the-rise-fall-and-regeneration-of-static-x-documentary-in-2025 SuggestsKorn - Self TitledReleased in ‘94. From the haunting intro of “Blind” to the twisted, primal aggression in “Clown” and “Daddy,” the album is a sonic trip through the dark corners of the mind. Its themes of isolation, fear, and inner torment align perfectly with the spooky season. Gaming/TechFollow-ups/CorrectionsNetflix - Closing their AAA gaming studio. Team Blue has been shuddered with 90 projects in various stages of development, and with staff that included Joseph Staten (Halo) and Rafael Grassetti (God of War). https://www.gamefile.news/p/netflix-team-blue-socal-studio Phasmophobia - Set for Xbox Series and Playstation 5/ VR2 Oct 29th. Multi-player horror FINALLY making its way onto consoles. https://www.engadget.com/gaming/aaaaaah-phsamophobia-haunts-consoles-this-month-182546124.html https://youtu.be/BLCwws1HnYA Reg ‘ol NewsHalo 2 - Project Cartographer (MOD) is rolling out a Spooky event for Halloween. You can now play as a skeleton in Halo 2.https://www.cartographer.online Elon VS Bladerunner - Alcon Entertainment has accused Elon of copyright infringement over an image included in the Cybercab/Robotaxi event earlier this month. Calling the image “nearly identical” to images from the movie.https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/21/elon-musk-tesla-wbd-blade-runner-ai-robotaxi-.html Ford X Tesla - The free Ford adapter the company gave out to connect to Tesla chargers. There is a long term issue with the current adaptors that will negatively affect charge times over time. They will be issuing replacements “in the coming weeks.”https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/ford-tells-ev-owners-to-stop-using-its-free-tesla-supercharger-adapters-120023623.html Nintendo Beta - The strange beta test for Nintendo has gone live for people on the beta list. Seems that Nintendo is trying their hand at an MMORPG, with their unique twist. Kinda seems like Second Life meets Starfield. You are basically populating a planet.https://playtest-p.nintendo.com/en-us SuggestsMK1 - Halloween Towers running all week.Comic Books/...
